Right in our own backyard (well, practically). Check out any of the 3 area Nature Centers. McDowell Park and nature center is not far from GAstonia/Belmont. Reedy Creek is near 485 on the North Side near University Area.
We went to Reedy Creek. The Nature Center is FREE. There are snakes, turtles, frogs, and they will take them out for the kids to see! There was also a little "kids corner" play area with hands-on nature experiments. Also at the park are several nature trails (not paved, so grab those jogging strollers or back-pack baby carriers!) that go around ponds, there are pavillions and sports fields, and a great play ground.
The Nature Center has the brochure (for all 3 Nature Centers) and there are a ton of activities for all ages...all free or under $5.
The McDowell one is right on Lake Wylie and has camp grounds!
But if you're looking for a fun and FREE way to spend a weekday morning, picnic lunch, or a weekend family day, we highly recommend one of these parks and Nature Centers!
